bouts of despair. Packed with action, comedy and heart rendering moments, the
film is an epic journey of friendship, teamwork and courage and aims to inspire
the next generation to realize that they too hold the power to change the
future of Pakistan.

The event was hosted by
leading television and film personality Fahad Mustafa who introduced the
project’s core partners to a packed house. Salman Iqbal, Director Waadi
Animations, addressed the audience where he talked about the work and efforts
of the Animation House. This was followed by an exclusive behind-the-scenes
video preview for member of the audience and the premiere of 3 Bahadur’s First
Look. This was followed by addresses from Jerjees Seja, CEO ARY Digital
Network, Zulfiqar Ali Ansari, Head of Marketing
at English Biscuit Manufacturers (Pvt.) Ltd. (EBM), Aziz Jindani, Commercial
Operations Leader at P&G Pakistan and Jamil Ahmed Mughal, Director of
Marketing & Development, McDonald’s Pakistan. The event concluded with a
media address by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Creative Director for 3 Bahadur, who
talked about the process of producing and directing Pakistan’s first
full-length super hero film. The event was well attended by celebrities, film
enthusiasts, media personalities and esteemed members of the press.

At this
event, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy also announced that Waadi Animations will be
launching a dedicated website for ‘3 Bahadur’ which will showcase detailed
information on the film, its story and characters and downloadable content such
as photos, music and exclusive behind-the-scenes videos. Waadi Animations is
also working on a ‘3 Bahadur’ smartphone video game for Android, Windows and
iOS based platforms. In addition to this, Waadi Animations will also be
launching a ‘3 Bahadur’ Children’s Book and weekly Comic Strips Series which will
showcase side adventures of the ‘3 Bahadur’ gang fighting issues that the
common Pakistani man faces on a daily basis. This unprecedented promotional
engagement will commence from January 2015.

Produced
entirely in Pakistan, this animated feature promises to set a new standard for
animated fiction and content geared towards children in the country. Based in a
fictional town in Pakistan, Roshan Basti (Town of Light), eleven year olds Amna,
Saadi and Kamil set out to save their community from the many evils that plague
it. The film is a journey of fighting back, taking charge, and finding support
and love in the most improbable of places. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, CEO of Waadi
Animations, is also the Creative Director of ‘3 Bahadur’ with ARY Films
extending its expertise in distribution and marketing of ‘3 Bahadur’. The
original soundtrack for ‘3 Bahadur’ has been composed and produced by acclaimed
musician Shiraz Uppal.

Indeed, the
collaborative efforts of Pakistan’s two leading film production houses with an
aim to produce high-quality animated content in Pakistan have prompted private
sector associates to partner with Waadi Animations for the launch of ‘3
Bahadur’ in Pakistan, through the launch of special edition products, marketing
campaigns and promotional activities. In this spirit, Waadi Animations welcomes
Peek Freans Gluco by English Biscuit Manufacturers (Pvt.) Ltd. (EBM) as the
main sponsors for ‘3 Bahadur’ with Safeguard by Procter & Gamble and McDonald’s
Pakistan as co-sponsors.

Speaking about ‘3 Bahadur’, Academy Award Winning
Film Director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has said, “I believe that 3 Bahadur is
going to be groundbreaking because it provides quality entertainment for the
whole family. Children will be mesmerized by unlikely superheroes, menacing
villains, and fumbling thugs. Both children and parents alike will be able to
relate to the everyday issues faced by the animated film’s main characters. The
film is a result of several years’ worth of hard work and collaboration with
exceptional illustrators, writers, animators and visual effects artists. We
have also been very lucky to have the support of our sponsors who want to see
quality content for children being produced and distributed in Pakistan.”

“We
are proud to be bringing the first animated feature film 3 Bahadur under the
banner of Waadi Animations, aimed at bringing quality entertainment to our
little cinema fans. 3 Bahadur will definitely set a culture of making
inspirational movies for children in Pakistan.” said Mr. Salman Iqbal, Director Waadi Animations/Founder

Freans Gluco, themed based digital activities for Peek Freans RIO and much
more. We are enthusiastic for the movie and hope children enjoy it to the
fullest.” said Zulfiqar Ali
Ansari, Head of Marketing at English Biscuit Manufacturers (Pvt.) Ltd. (EBM)

“At

great step towards development of animation and film industry in the country.
For this breakthrough in the Pakistani cinema, we warmly congratulate the team
at Waadi Animations and wish them all the best for their future endeavors.” said Jamil Ahmed Mughal, Director of Marketing
& Development, McDonald’s Pakistan.

“A
huge portion of our population is under the age of 15 and there has been very
little film entertainment for them locally. We at ARY Films strongly believe
that 3 Bahadur will definitely fill the gap and in the process create more
marketing opportunities for brands who cater to our young population." said Mr. Jerjees Seja, CEO, ARY Digital Network.
